ASML designs and manufactures photolithography systems for semiconductor manufacturing. Its main products are deep ultraviolet (DUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines that print circuit patterns on silicon wafers, with EUV enabling smaller features. The company sells these systems to leading chipmakers and earns substantial revenue from installation, maintenance, and upgrades over the machines’ lifetimes. Its goal is to help continue scaling semiconductors by leading in high-end lithography and maintaining strong relationships with customers like TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.

Mistral AI has raised €1.7 billion in a Series C funding round at an €11.7 billion post-money valuation. The round was led by semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML Holding, with participation from existing investors including DST Global, Andreessen Horowitz, Bpifrance, General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Lightspeed and NVIDIA. The Paris-based AI company will use the funding to advance its scientific research and develop custom decentralised frontier AI solutions for complex engineering and industrial problems. ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said the partnership aims to generate benefits for ASML customers through AI-enabled products and solutions. Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch stated the investment will help address engineering challenges in the semiconductor and AI value chain whilst maintaining the company's independence.
ASML's High-NA Chips Are Almost Here (And They Cost a Fortune) Electronic Components
ASML Holding's largest market shifted to South Korea in the first quarter, with shipments to the country surging to 45% of net system sales, up from 22% in the previous quarter. This represents €2.84 billion in sales, compared to €1.67 billion in the preceding three months. The increase reflects South Korean memory chip makers ramping up purchases of the Dutch company's chipmaking tools to address chronic shortages driven by the artificial intelligence boom. South Korea overtook China as ASML's top market during the quarter.
ASML Holding holds the seventh position in billionaire Ken Fisher's AI portfolio, with a stake valued at $4.80 billion. The Dutch company maintains a near-total monopoly in extreme ultraviolet lithography systems, which are essential for manufacturing advanced semiconductor chips below five-nanometre nodes. ASML reported an order backlog of €38.8 billion at the end of 2025, up from €35.9 billion a year earlier. The company raised its 2026 revenue guidance to €34–39 billion, representing potential year-over-year growth of 4% to 19%, driven by AI chip demand. Major customers include TSMC, Samsung, Intel and SK hynix. The company faces virtually no competition due to enormous barriers to entry, requiring multi-billion-euro investments and decades of accumulated proprietary knowledge.
ASML, the world's sole manufacturer of extreme ultraviolet lithography systems, is set to report first-quarter 2026 results on 15 April. Analysts expect earnings of $7.2 per share on revenue of $9.7 billion. The company has guided first-quarter revenue between €8.2 billion and €8.9 billion, with a gross margin of 51% to 53%. ASML closed 2025 with full-year net sales of $37.94 billion, driven by AI-related capacity expansions. Options pricing suggests traders anticipate a potential 5% swing following the report. Geopolitical risks have intensified after US lawmakers introduced legislation that could restrict ASML's sales to Chinese chipmakers. China accounted for roughly 30% of ASML's 2025 revenue. JPMorgan maintains a Buy rating but estimates the proposed restrictions could reduce earnings per share by up to 10%.
